Another candidate for the capital of

gives vent to its enthusiasm: "We would

When the great Designer planned this land

The famous painted rocks of Lake Che'an
are described as follows: Imagine a perpen
dicular and nearly smooth wall of granite,
with no chinks or crannies that would en
able one to descend from the heights above
or to ascend from the water below. Twen
ty feet above the water are painted a series
cf figures of Indians, bears, deer, owls and
other animals. The pigment used is black
and red, and the pictures are as clear ap
parently as when made. As the water of
the lake varies only eighteen inches in
height during the year, the ancient artists
must have done the painting while in their
canoes, and while the level of ths lake was
nearly twenty feet higher than it is now.

robust, hard-working Chinaman, the same
one stabbed and shot a month ago in a
Chinese garden near the city. His emaci
ated body is a mere living skeleton, and his
arms are no bigger than drumsticks. His

Puyallup Exchange: The bop harvest in
the touud is fast approaching and growers
are busy preparing their kilns. The only
appi enension is that rain may come during
picking and thus give the hops a bad color.
As ' ar as the baling is concerned there will
be a decided improvement this year, at
least among the large growers as they in
tend to adopt the new California horse
power, press, thus avoiding the tramping
which was necessary in the old way. Ar

Second District Pair.
The Dalles, Or., Sept. 12. 1SS9.
Editor TiMD-MorXTAiNKa:
In the last issue of the Wasco County
Sun, at the request of some of the business
men of this city, I called attention to the
next Agricultural Fair to be held in this
citv September 24, and urged upon the
farmers and business men of this agricul
lural district the importance of making
this fair represent correctly the resources
and capabilities of this portion of the
state. Will you give me space in the cI
umns of your valuable paper 10 again re.
mind the people of this portion of the
state of the necessity of their interesting
themselves in this exhibition?
Mr. James A. Varney, who is the presi
dent of the commissioners named by the
Legislature to manage and control ..'this
fair, has used every effort to insure a suc
cessful and general exhibition of our pro
ducts. In his efforts he has not met with
universal encouragement. He has met
with many criticisms upon the former ex.
hibitions he!d here, aud because these for
mer cxhibitons have not been all that
some seem to think they should have been
some of the producers of this portion of
the state withhold their assistance at this
time.
It should ha understood that the coin
ing exhibition is properly a state fair, al
though it is not expected that the entire
slate will be represented; it is under the
management of state commissioners and
the state makes an appropriation for the
purpose of paying premiums; this will be
the first exhibition under the new man
agement, and if former exhibitions have
not been all that they should be this is no
reason why every farmer of Eastern Ore
gon this aide of the Blue Mountains
should not feel that he is personally in
terested in this exhibition. Whatever
reason there may have been for criticiz
ing the exhibitions of the Wasco Fair
Asssociaticn the fault lay not wilh the
managers but with the farmers of this
section of the state who declined to make
exhibits because they felt that thereby they
would be put to a little trouble and ex
pense, or because they thought whatever
they had to exhibit was not worthy of the
trouble and would not be needed to make
a full showing of our resourses. We be
lieve that every farmer in this district
should be, and if he consider the matter
carefully will be, interested in making the
coming fair the best exhibition ever held j
in Eastern uregon. 11 is noi so mucu a
matter as t whether each exhibition will
receive a money premium as it is thu
every portion of this district should show
to the people who will be in attendance at
this fair what we are capable of produc
ing. It is not necessary that the marvel
ous alone should Ibe shown ; what is of
more importance is a true representation
of what our country can produce, and
everv farmer can show something which
is at least a fair representation of the pro
ducts of his locality. Permit me to sug
gest that every farmer in this poitiou of

produced this year. It is true that our
croos this year are not ap average either
in quantity or quality, but this fact is fully

compare favorably aud even surpass the
best cxhibitons of many of the other states.

Point. The men who have in charge this
exhibition have not the means and should
not be expected to send agents to or them
selves visit the various localities in this
district; no doubt if they could do this
n very large and valuable exhlbilou could
be had; but the same exhibition can be
made just as well if each farmer will take
the trouble to send in the best of his pro
ducts.
There will be in attendance at this ex-
lihilion a larsre number of strangers, many
ol them from out of the state, and many of
them come for the express purpose of
studying our resources and capabilities,
and will maKe a report upon inem toiueir
friends and neighbors. If we neglect this
exhibition our section of the stale will
not be fairly represented and strangers
will receive erroneous information as to
our resources. 1 neie is no oeiier mcmoci
of advertising both the products of the in
dividual and the wealtn ol our agricultu
ral lands than through this exhibition,
and it is a matter of individual interest to
every farmer to correctly represent the
ynlue of his land.
It has freauentiy been said ol other
fairs in the state that they amount simply
to a horse race. The exhibition of last
horses has its proper place in every agri-
cultural lair and no doubt in this one there
will be as fine a speed program as has ever
been known in Eastern Oregon ; but the
farmers of this district can bring to this
fair that which is of greater importance, it
they are disposed to do so. Without their
co-operation and support the managers
cannot make u a success anu iif iair win
be simnlv a horse race or an entire fail
lire: in either event its real object will
fail. Everv farmer who reads this paper
should feel that upon him rests some of
the responsibility ot making mis iair a
true advertisement of thij portion of our
state.
While it is of the greatest,importance
that the managers should have theco-oper-
alion of the farmers, the business men of
this and oiher cities in the district should
feel that wilh them lies a portion of the
responsibility ot making this exhibition a
success. WJiile an exhibiti m by the mer
chants necessitates no little expense and
trouble nevertheless advertisement would
abundantly repay them. This exhibition
eught to be to a certain degree a mechan
ics lair as well ns an agricultural lair and
every merchant ought to have an exhibit
upon the grounds. Particular attention
should be given to this by the merchants
of this city, it seems to ns, lor not only are
they benefited oy sucn an advertisement
directly, but the citv is more especially
benefited by the success of the exhibition.
We believe that it is only necessary io
call the attention of the farmers and the
business men to these tacts in order Uit
they will give whatever assistance they
can to tue managers. .ei an unite to
make this the most successful fair ever
held in Eastern Oregon and the beginning
exhibitions which will surpass any
thing in the slate or even on the coast.

Charily Begins at Home.
The Dalles, Sept. 11.
Editor Tihes-Mocxtaiseer:
The citizens of The Dalles have been
called upon with others to contribute to
wards relieving the sufferings of the people
of Johnstown from floods, Seattle, Ellens
burgh and Tacoma from tires, and with
tbeir accustomed open-hearted ness have re-
ponded liberally to these calls.
The farmers in our heretofore prosperous
counties of Wasco and Sherman are now
suffering from the effects of the only severe
drouth this country has ever known, and
while the majority ot our tanners will be
able to pull through, there are quite a num
ber who will need assistance iu procuring
seed wheat for the coming year. As char
ity begins at home, would it not be a good
idea for the citizens of The Dalles to give
liberally towards a fund that shall be placed
in the hands of a committee who shall pur-
hase a Quantity of good seed wheat. I he
said committee to have power to donate to
such parties whom the ollicers of the Grange
in their locality Elian ccrtuy is necessary
to help.
To set the ball rolling I will pledge my
self to buy anil donate to the committee for
the above purpose bU bushels or wueat, ana
will in the very near future circulate a list
for like contributions. As we are depend
ent upon the farmer to a great exteut, lei
ns take hold of this matter quickly and give
ith a generous haud. C Uayard.
Care for Piles.
Itching Piles are known by moisture like
perspiration, producing a very disagreeable
tching after getting warm. Ibis form as
well as blind, bleeuing and protruding
piles, yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acta
directly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the tumors, allaying the intense itching and
effecting a permanent cure. 50 cents. Ad

Tragedy at M eiscr
Baker City Democrat.
A private letter received yesterday from
Wciser City gives an account of a fearful
tragedy euacted there on Saturday eve
ning, the particulars of which are as fo!
lows:
A company of soldiers from the garri-
sen at Boise City, on their way to the
l'ayett lakes for a few days' outing, came
down on the train as far as Weiser Cily
and while taking in the town several o
them drank oi'ite freely and came in cn
ta:t with two citizens by the name of John
Weatherford and John Glasscock, who it
is alleged picked a quarrel wilh the so!
diers and a light ensued. Glasscock resor
ted to his pistol and shot one of the so
diers in the neck, whereupon the so diers
opened with a volley from their guns com
pletely ntldiing the body ot Ulasseocu
They then turned on Weatherford, who by
tins time was making a hasty retreat irom
the scene, and bred several shots but with
out hitting him. He was finally taken in
rliarge by citizens and lodged in jail.
Glasscock w.-is killed outright while the
soldier will survive his wound.
Great excitement prevailed in the town
and it was feared the soldiers would take
Weatherford from the jail and hang him.
Many of the soldh-rs were heard to say
they would make an angel out ot lam
before morning." .
Glasscock, '.lie murdered man, is the
son ot a pioneer family of eiser valley,
but is said to have been a wild young
man. eatherlord is a brother ot nou.
Weathertord, formerly a hotel keeper of
lleiser, and also considerable of a bully.
The Coiuiug Ciiens.
The Farini-McMahon show, which will
be here at The Dalles on Monday, Sept,
23d, is highly endorsed by the press every
where it has spread its tents. The Denver
News, July 16, says:
The Farini-McMahon circus opened their
tent doors yesterday afternoon and evening
at 1 wenty-ttnrd and Helton streets to a
vast concourse of people. 1 he evening per
formance was especially well attended, the
audience being, quite a fashionable one.
This ideal equestriolympian is among the
few legitimate sawdust entertainments and
is well worthy of patronage. The ring pro
gramme is most interesting and varied.
the excellent circus entertainments are
from necessity compelled to give a certain
character of entertainment, and their stand
ard must be measured by the individual
ability of the pertormers. By this standard
the show is way above the averajre. The
riding is excellent, and the daring horsemen
elicited hearty applause. The acrobatic
feats smacked of foreign training, impossi
ble for home talent to duplicate. The slack
wire artiste is the best that has yet visited
Denver, and her marvelous performance
last evenin7 won her heartv armlau3 The
s j I , .
programme was quite a lengthy ono and ;
when completed the big crowd dispersed
more than satisfied with their three hours
of entertainment.
The company is a combination of Farini's
Grand Australian and McMahon's Great
World's, and the excellent features of both
have been, retained. Even the clowna ar,
of new make-up and new jokes aud the an
tics of some are truly laugbaole.
Oregon Exhibit and Delegation.
The following is copied verbatim from
the Milwaukee (Wis.) Sentinel of August
3oth :
"The Oregon delegation has its head-
quarters iu parlor C at the Plankington,
where n large variety of fruits and cereal
products of that state are on exhibition
and free to visitors who call. Up to yes
terday noon 2300 people had visited the
headquarters and examined and sampled
the products. The Oregon people also
have lOt'O square teet ot space at the ex
position building, which n ill led with
the products of their slate and which had
been visited by 15,000 people at noon
yesterday. There are 55 people in the
delegation, representatives of the Grand
Army and the Woman's Relief Corps.
frominent among them are Hen. a.
McElrov, department commander, aud
wile, ot Salem; Col. and Mrs. t'otter,
Capt. Newberry, and Dr. W. If. Suylor, of
.Portland; Col. bladden ana wile, ot i-u-
gene City; Capt. Cook, JUrs. snuthwilK
and Col. Ladie, of Salem; Capt. Mitchell,
of Newberg: Col. Hursh, of Baker Citv,
and Capt. Walrus, ot Ceuterville. The
ladies in the party are representatives of
the Woman's Keliet Corps. Hie delega
tion will leave for home Saturday, but
their exhibit at the exposition will remain
till the great show closes."
A Horse's tSugacity.
East Oregonian.
An incident illustrating the Baacity and
intelligence of that faithful animal, the
horse, occurred in Pendleton yesterday.
Two small sons of Gecrge Shutrum, who
have yet barely entered their teens, rode to
town on two of their father's animals to
purchase school books and other articles
necessary to a schoolboy's existence. They
tied their horses, a white and bay, to a rack,
made tbeir purchases, and returned to tiud
one of the animals gone. The other mani
fested many signs of uneasiness, leading tho
boys, who were badly frightened, to suspect
that something had goue wrong. They un
tied and mounted the horse, and no sooner
were they fairly in the saddle than he
started at a rapid gallop up Alta street,
neighing loudly the while. After passing
the mill-race bridge, an answering neigh
wis faintly heard, and the horse they were
riding redoubled his efforts until the county
bridge was reached, when the whinny of a
horse was heard proceeding from the brush.
The boys dismounted and found the other
animal securely tied and concealed in a
thicket, probably by no honest man. They
lost no time in scrambling on their anim.-.ls
and riding home for dear life, feariug all toe
while that they were pursued by horse
thieves.

was under treatment of the physician from
the inception of the disease until I found
that he could do me no good. Then,
through the advice of a friend I began tak

an immediate effect. I took six bottles, and
to-day am sound and well. That was two or

To the Patronn of lite Public School:
Owing to the extreme inconvenience, as
well as injustice to other pupils, of forming
classes id the first grade every few days, it

admit little children who have never at
tended school at periods only during each
term. The periods to occur at beginning
and middle ot each term and to be limited
to ten days. So we would respectfully rsk
you who have these little ones to send to do

TUE DEATH OF GORDON.
Berlin, Se,t. 12. Dr. Frickc, who
accompanied General Gordon to Khar
toum and remained with him until his
death, says that Gordon had unlimited
confidence in himself, aud must have
misled t lie British a to his critical situa
tion. '-Gordon's character," says Di.
Fricke, "was asuibstinate as it was noble.
His blindness to danger and his deafness
to warnings ot bis friends caused his
death. If he had listened to advice, he
might have escaped two da ys !cfore the
fall of Khartoum wi:h all the Europeans
of the pluce. He was speared by his
own soldiers when he came to uanect
them."
TANNER HAS RESIGNED.
W ashington, Sept. 12, 1 A. M The
president has received tho resignation of
James W. Tanner commissioner of pen
sions. In the Iet.tr conveying the rejig-
nanon it is said that the commissioner
writes that he recognizes that differences
exist between himself and the secretary
of the interior respecting the administra
tion of the pension bureau, aud that these
differences being radical, in the ioterest
ot a thoroughly satisfactory administra
tion of the office, he should resign.
THE NEWS IN NEW YORK.
New York, Sept. 11. A Washington
special says that Tanner bid good by to
all tue men in bis office last night, and
was not at his desk to-day.
A special to a morning paper says that
President Harrison said to a Iricnd yes
terday that Tanner would have to CO out
of the pension office. He said he was
reluctant to part with him aa account of
the embarressment it would place him in.
considering the indorsement given the
commissioner at Milwaukee, but he ad
ded it was altogether out of the question
to keep him. The president said be had
repeatedly talked to Commissioner Tan
ner and urged him to give his tongue less
exercise, but that everywhere he went
and upon the slightest provocation he
put his foot into it." It is un lerstood
that the commissioner's resignation is at
theiequest of the prcsideDt.and it will be
disposed of within a few days. It for ten
days or more has simply been a question
of how to drop him without -offending
the soldiers. . .
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.
Philadelphia, Sept. 11. A dispatch
from Laurel, Del., says that the storm is
the most furions ever known. At least
two vessels have heed beiuhed. The
beach from Bath to Louis street is strewn
with wrecks. It is thought tbat at least
fifty lives have been lost. Men were seen
clinging to the rigging of tho fust sink
ing vessels', frantically yelling for help.
The life saving crew were powerless to
render assistance, owing to the iury of
the gHic. It was a terrible sight to wit
ness, but no human power could save
tl.em. Their bodies were washed ashore
this motnlng, and were burned in the
sand aloug the water's edge. The loss of
property at the breakwater will reach it
is thought, 15,000,000.

ashore just outside the bay and is going
to pieces, with a crew of ten men cling
ing to the rigging. The lines which the
life. saving crew sent out were entangled
in a manner to mako it impossible to get
out the car. No human help can save
the sailors if 'ho wind continues blowing
as now. Loth of the wooden piers have
been destroyed.

MANY LIVES IN rERIL.
Deweb, Del., Sept. 11 The captain of
the tug Argus, coming down the bay this
morning, said there were eight men in
the riggicg of a schooner near a fourteen,
foot bank and in a very dangerous posi
tion. The captain being unable to
rejich the schoeiner. came to Breakwater
and endeavored to get the life saving
crew to go to their rescue, and offered to
tow their boat, but the crew were nearly
exhausted by many hours' continuous
work, and the captain of the station did
not feel justified in leaving his post. The
Arqnt therefore returned alone to the
scene of the wreck. Nothing is known
as to the successor failure of the danger
ous undertaking.
